To all whom t may concern.

Be it known that I, CASPER L. M. PETER- snN, of the city of Toronto, in 'the county of York, Province of Ontario, Canada, a subject of the King of Great Britain, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Drying Cabinets, of which the following is a specification. i

This invention relates to devices in which table dishes and the like maybe placed to drain and dry, and myv object is to devise a simple, sanitary v and compactcabinet of llarge capacity'r relative toits overalldimensions in which dishes may be easily placed in'suitable racks anddrained and dried and stored without the drainings from. dishes in the upper racks interfering with the drying of dishes in the lower rack.

1 I attain my object by means of the constructions' hereinafter described Aand illusf trated in the accompanying drawings in which Fig.

1 isa front elevation of the cabinet;

Fig. `2 a vertical'section of the same;

Fig. 3 a side elevation of the same, partly broken away; and

Figs. 4;, 5, 6 and 7 horizontal sections respectively on thelines o o, o o, ce@k and d-d of Fig. 2.

In the drawings like numerals of reference indicate corresponding `parts in the different figures. f

1 is a sheet metal casing which is` open at the front.v In this casing are supported a plurality of drip pans 2. Preferably three such drip pans are employed, each of which extendsfrom lside to side and back to front of the casing. The drip pans 2 are preferably of the same dimensions, whilejthe drippans 3 at the bottom of the casing has less depth 'than the others, as the sides of the cabinet preferably recede below the lower pan 2'so that the device will not interfere with the proper use of the sink, above which in practice it will be supported. The drip pans 2 preferably incline from all ysides tcward a point atthe middle of the rear side thereof so that all drainings will runto this point where an opening yis formed communieating with a drain pipe 4L. T he drainpipe 11 of the upper drip pan'` 2 communicates with the upper end of thedrain pipe of the lower drip pan, this in turn discharges on to the drip pan '3. rlhe bottom of this lower drip pan inclines from all sides to an opening 5 forward of the back of the pan, and

ric.

'j' caerse. L. M. Parnassia-,or ro'aonro, onrartro, CANADA drain ltube 6 is-preferably provided. This .drain tube will thus clear ,the back ofthe sink above which the device, when in use, is supported. Above the upper drip pan 2 are supported a plurality of drip pans which are located above the front part of the said drip pan 2, but extendfonly part way ton wards the back. I prefer to employ two such drip pans. carried by supports 21 from the dish supporting rack 18 hereinafter described, and extends only party way to each side of the casing. The drip pan 8 is carried bythe sides of the casing'and extends from side I,to side thereof,l above *the drip pan 7. The

The lower drip pan 7 isv drip pan S'isof the same general construction as the dripv pan 2 and is provided with a drainage discharge 9, vwhich discharges into the drip pan 7 at the back thereof. The drip pan 7 is providedwith a drainage discharge 10, which discharges onto. the upper drip pan 2 at. about the middle thereof. Means for supporting dishes of` various kinds are provided above the variousdrip pans. Above thedrip pan 3, a wire r'ack 11 is provided for this purpose, this rack being supported on the U-shapedjledges 1,2

" secured to the end of the casing. This rack is particularly adapted to receive large size plates.` A wire rack 131 is supported above the lower drip pan 2* in the `saine manner as the rack 11. The members .of this rack at each end are, however, widely spaced to receiveivegetable dishesandthe like, while at the centre is carried a Hat wire grid 14 on which various articles may be laid. Owing to the location of the drip pans 7 and 8, vthe back part of the casing above the rear part of the upper drip pan 2 is noty accessible from the front of the casing. l therefore provide in each end of the casing'an opening 15 kand locate above the back part of the upper drip pan 2 a wire rack 16, lwhich vis supportedonthe ends of the casing in the same manner `as-the racks 11 and-13 and which is adapted to receiveplatters and the like which are easily inserted and removed through theopenings 15. Above the drip Vpan 8 islocated a wire rack17 supported from the ends ofthe casing in the same' manner as the `racks11 and 13. This rack will be proportioned` to receive articles of various sizes. The wire rack 18,' which carries the-drip pan 7, 1sv supported at the'ends of the casing 1n the same manner as the racks hereinbeforel described. The vertical mem# bers of' thisfr'acl; are, however, ylocated `only v between the endsoi" `the drip pan and the sides/ofthe casing. 7 there is employedv instead la flat wire grid 19, on which cups, cutlery or'lightsinall arl yticles maybeflaid. Asimilar grid ZQjiSS-npported on the drip pan Below the drip pan It will be noted th Lt the ldishracks areV -r siiientlvelevated to prevent their contents v l1o' yings therefrom-maydripfreely -aivayl As a `tainedso'that Vthese latter mayY aso be proptoiiching the Y"drip pans sothat all the drain-l the' racks-are Iall detachably connected with *thdeasing they are readily reinoved` at' any :time foi-"7 cleaning and,".wlien they are removed,V free access lto the drip oans -i-s oberly cleaned. t f
